Hi team! 💜 I've now also got a printable of the ideas that I listed in this video 😄 Link for if you wanted to check it out: www.patreon.com/posts/what-to-include-48697492
Right now I enjoy a 'good vibes' page where I just put in stuff that makes me happy or makes me laugh (or just some dumb comment of mine). I did it in December because I knew that it would be stressful, this month just for fun and next month because it will be stressful again.
One layout I started doing a few months ago and have been loving is a productivity tracker. Working from home now makes it easy to fall off track and i want to motivate myself to give myself a good productivity rating for the day haha
I had some free space bugging me in my bujo and was wracking my brain for a good spread to use -- this couldn't be more timely! Thanks for your hard work! ♥ Oh, and for my staples -- I absolutely need a habit tracker and drinks tracker (I can't tell when I'm thirsty, so it's a lifesaver), a small monthly overview, and expenses. My expenses overview used to be a running list that I updated whenever I bought something non-essential, but I've found that having that set aside specifically with each month has let me be a lot more mindful with purchases.
What I always put on my monthlies, the spreads are: cover page, quotes, monthly calendar, habit/sleep/expences/steps/mental health check list and productivity level trackers, memories, one line a day, hit list(songs that I come across during the month) and weeklies. This year I started to use word of month and monthly review in form of "a letter to myself".
The layouts I use consistently on my Monthly pages are: - A cover page, with the many aesthetic of the month and also the word of the month! - New songs - where I track all the new songs I’ve added to my main playlist and pick one that I believe represents my entire month - A merge between a sleep log and mood tracker in a graph form, where I also calculate my average time slept on the entire month - And some weekly pages, with daily tasks. Im planning on adding a Habit Tracker and a Screen Time Tracker, but I'm still trying things out to see how they work!
I have a screen time tracker, and I love it. It’s like a bar graph and each day has the bar, which is sectioned unto the different aspects of my screen time. The habit tracker is also something I use, and I enjoy it. It’s pretty simple though.
For my Jan setup I had these spreads, but for Feb I wanna change things up. Spreads in Jan: -quote page -cover page -calendar page -things I am into -birthday countdown -daily doodle -prompts for the daily doodle -habit tracker -mood tracker -to do -screen time tracker -weeklies -memories -notes Spreads Planned To Have In Feb: -bye Jan -cover page -calendar page -things I am into -daily doodle -prompts for the daily doodle -habit tracker -mood tracker -screen time tracker -weeklies -memories -notes Feb will have 26 pages instead of 27, I am adding the extra spreads to my weeklies because I realized that they needed more pages. I planned all the spreads that I needed and make sure that I had the right amount for each month so they can fit in my journal. My journal only has 180 pages (counting the double sides and stuff) and I am using it for 6 months, so I planned to make sure that it would fit, hehe. Hope that all made sense.
This was great. I started bu-jo in July but stopped after 2 months when my dad passed and then i was diagnosed with breast cancer. I did notice i was more productive when i was doing it. Have mentioned to a few friends & they want to start. I created a bullet journal to sell on Amazon KDP for a beginner like me so i am setting up a night for us to create. This video will help tremendously
Watching this for ideas. I don’t really like cover pages. Probably because I can’t draw well so I need lots of mixed media to make it work. I also don’t like list as I feel that they box me in too much and if I don’t complete things I don’t like seeing that on the monthly page. I think my favorite is a brain dump. No expectations. Just what I’m thinking 💜
Currently I try to include a quote page, cover page, monthly overview, habit/mood tracker, self care bingo, memories/review page and a finances overview. The last two spreads are new to me, but I want to use them for a couple of months to figure out if they work for me.
Good idea! I do find that using spreads for at least a few months to really see if a layout works for me to be helpful; could have just tried to start it in a particular good/bad month or something 🤔😄💜
I consistently have a cover page, monthly calendar/overview, productivity tracker and habits, mood, and mental health tracker. I've added daily Rune tracking only recently, but it helps me stay rooted in my faith. I also include a monthly review page where I track my successes and challenges, what to work on, and songs and movies I watch/listen to :)
What a great video! I’ve picked up a few for my new monthly setup. Thanks a lot🥰 My stable pages are: • Monthly set up ( inspired by Carroll himself) • Goal page/ action page (where I put my calculations on goals of that month and the results by week) • Memories page (big events and how I see them) • Lessons of the month • Stop/cont/start page (aka where I plan my new month) • Fav page ( things I like/ do in that month)
Great video and list! I saw so many that I'd like to try and followed just about everyone else you referenced. I'm finishing my planner for this year and want to try a Bullet Journal for 2022. Thank you for this video!!
I always put a sleep tracker in my monthly set up! I am a college student so I like to see how sleep, or lack there of, affects my mood and productivity
The main inspiration I got from this is a monthly summary page of some sorts. I'll think about what makes sense for me. but that is something I have never done that I think would be useful.
Hi, Jess! The monthly layouts I always include are the habit and sleep trackers. I have recently incorporated the productivity tracker and, after a couple months of trial and error, it's finally working for me.
Can you read my mind? I needed two spreads for my bujo cause I kind of sectioned it and planned all the spreads and stuff, and I took away a couple spreads that weren’t being used, and I needed to repurpose them. I was needing ideas, and then you posted the video. So again can you read my mind?
Every month, I have a calendar, a monthly task list, a a tending list (daily, weekly, and monthly tracking items), a budget overview, and projects list for bigger, multi-step things I have going on I want to make progress on. I also have a weekly for every week and do daily pages.
For me, at least right now, each monthly setup includes a cover/splash page, a calendar spread, habits, and a memory page . I also have a tracker for my physical therapy, but that’s not a staple, just something I need at the moment as I recover from an injury.
Im new to ur channel, the thing ive taken away the most is the quotes idea. I totally love the postive outlook u have for the new month. Look forward to watching more vids. Stay safe lovely x
Some great ideas in this video, thanks Jess! I keep saying that I'm not a bullet journaller, but honestly, my daily routines and habits Happy Planner is starting to turn into a sort-of-kind-of bujo - just a discbound one instead of a book-based one (I just keep wanting to not call it that because I don't do any kind of task management or actualfax planning through it)
More years I use bullet journal more minimalist I am. Every month I have a monthly calendar, a budget, a brain dump/to do list, sometimes I put a habit tracker or a goals for month page in there. Then I have my weeklys.
This is so damn Helpful!! ❤❤😍 I truly appreciate that you made this video! I’m a beginner for journaling and was having trouble on how to start my first journal, but I’ll keep these in mind!
Thank you for that very useful and great video ! :D I reccomend also the master groceries list which is so useful when you have to do groceries, but wanna make sure you forgot nothing :)
the ideas here are fantastic! i wanted to ask you about the spending tracker/log that you showed that looked like your layout with the rainbow--- is there a post somewhere where i can look at the tracker?
Cool idea's~! ^^ I've tried a few of them in the past 2 years but right now I'm only having a spending tracker in all my monthly's. I'm tracking some other things you mentioned yearly tho so I do have them in my BuJo but not monthly. ;D Like a health tracker, cleaning/chores tracker and wish list/bucket list. I would also LOOOOVE to track my dreams but I dream way too much and way too long. I would have to write a whole book every week lol ps: Goodness.. I just couldn't figure out what the drawing at 11:44 was... I stared and stared... The only thing I saw were some teeth and 2 lopsided teeth on the side. O_O But after a good few minutes, I saw it was a couch! O_O
It would be great if you did a PDF of all these ideas. It goes so fast and you write so tiny 😊. The Weekly one too. Note that I aspire to be able to write tiny - I get like 4 to 5 words max on a row in an A5
Hi team! 💜 I've now also got a printable of the ideas that I listed in this video 😄 Link for if you wanted to check it out: www.patreon.com/posts/what-to-include-48697492
Great ideas! Self-care bingo is a new idea to me that I'm in love with.
Right now I enjoy a 'good vibes' page where I just put in stuff that makes me happy or makes me laugh (or just some dumb comment of mine). I did it in December because I knew that it would be stressful, this month just for fun and next month because it will be stressful again.
Aww that's a gorgeous idea! I love that! 😄💜
I love this idea! 😀

I would love to see you track your nail polish color choices each month, or track the nail art that you do 😁
Sleep, expenses, habits and mood are my go to pages. I rarely deviate but I’m thinking of adding a reading page if I pick up on my reading.
I had some free space bugging me in my bujo and was wracking my brain for a good spread to use -- this couldn't be more timely! Thanks for your hard work! ♥

Awesome that having an expenses overview has paid off like that for you! 😄💜 I find mindful spending to be a challenge of mine

Really enjoyed the little screenshots to showcase the point/idea. It’s a nice inspo glimpse, without being to overwhelming.
Thanks Steph! 😄💜
Thank you for your great ideas! I’m finding I like your ideas for bujo most. I do like a few others but at this moment you are my number one to ho to.
Aww thanks Susan! Glad you enjoy the ideas 😄💜
What a great video! I’ve picked up a few for my new monthly setup. Thanks a lot🥰

Some great Ideas. I like a quotes page after a cover page, mood tracker and memories. Others are trial and error, so month to month they change.
So many ideas! Love this video
Aww yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😄💜

Yay that’s great! 😄 I was planning on bringing back the productivity tracker for my February setup and totally forgot, haha! 🤦♀️

Jashii is really a psychic... Just joking but how did she know what we'll need tho 🙀
@@alinskyjesusballecer4363 maybe she really is a psychic
@@prettypeach13 I think 🤔 so...
@@alinskyjesusballecer4363 yeah me tooo.............
Haha, maybe not psychic, but I like to try and predict people's needs where I can 😉💜
This was such a fun video! Love seeing all these ideas on one spread. Thank you so much for sharing!😃

Thanks! Rewatching and really appreciating these ideas AND all the idea and inspiration links!
Aww thank-you Angela! 💜😄 Glad you're getting value!
Im new to ur channel, the thing ive taken away the most is the quotes idea. I totally love the postive outlook u have for the new month. Look forward to watching more vids. Stay safe lovely x
Thanks! I do love a good quote page 😊 You stay safe too! 💜😄

Disc bound tracker bujo, woohoo 🥳 😄 I reckon it counts 🤔😛

Very usefull information! Thank you for sharing.
I sort my tasks by type in my monthly. I have four areas: home, school (which is work, as I am a professor), property and bujo
This is so damn Helpful!! ❤❤😍 I truly appreciate that you made this video! I’m a beginner for journaling and was having trouble on how to start my first journal, but I’ll keep these in mind!
Hi Jas! So excited for this one💕
Aww yay! I hope you enjoyed it! 💜😄
@@JashiiCorrin yes!
I ❤ this idea, @jashiicorrin ! ! ! ! ! ! 🤗
I will certainly be including these lists in my next journal ! ! ! ! ! !
@jashiicorrin
What you forgot to mention in the " tracker / log " section, was a " period / menstruation " tracker.
I’d typically have that as an annual tracker rather than monthly, but certainly another idea for people who prefer it that way!
I REALLY needed these ideas! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Most welcome; glad it was helpful! 😄💜
Thank you for that very useful and great video ! :D I reccomend also the master groceries list which is so useful when you have to do groceries, but wanna make sure you forgot nothing :)
Good tip! It can certainly be helpful to have as a kind of "trigger list" (to trigger you into remembering what you need that is!)
the ideas here are fantastic! i wanted to ask you about the spending tracker/log that you showed that looked like your layout with the rainbow--- is there a post somewhere where i can look at the tracker?
Cool idea's~! ^^ I've tried a few of them in the past 2 years but right now I'm only having a spending tracker in all my monthly's.

It would be great if you did a PDF of all these ideas. It goes so fast and you write so tiny 😊. The Weekly one too. Note that I aspire to be able to write tiny - I get like 4 to 5 words max on a row in an A5
I do have a printable of the weekly one (linked in a pinned comment on that video) but I can always make one for this list too 😄
I would love to see the "around the house" chart close up. Can I see it elsewhere than instagram? Susanne from Denmark
Is Schedule spelt wrong at the start or is it me? Brilliant video!!
I mean it probably is 😂 I spent wella ages making those things so there are likely more errors, haha
x,y,zed... always startles me 😆
My curiosity starts immediately going nuts..
Immediately in my mind:
"zed. Why zee, why zed, why?"
😍😊
😄💜
Hii🤗🤗
Oh hi! 💜😄
